Remember, it's only for the newest cars not a historical record of past stuff.

Also, the CTS isn't built at Bowling Green.

Everyone I know with a GM and I must be getting lemons then, huh? Just a thought. Look, I have some American pride left, so I'm not saying Bowling Green is or isn't producing garbage. I'm saying that GM's in general have been the worst cars I've ever owned.

^ +1 They just happened to also be the fastest ones I have ever owned.

Personally, I won't buy any chevy product that wasn't made there.

The C6 has as much in common with a lotus as any other chevy product.

Yeah. My Trans AM was the fastest car I ever owned. Although, stock for stock, the 370z IS faster than my Trans Am. I don't know if the Z will be as fast as my T/A was when it was stolen, but it will certainly be faster within the first couple of months.

My c6 was not only the fastest 0-60, but fastest on the top end as well. Got it to 175 before i ran out of balls.

I think you hit the limiter, actually. I'm pretty positive that the C6 will get up to about 185MPH before it runs out of energy. Unless you were in 6th. The top speed is achieved in 5th on the C5 and C6.

I didn't hit the limiter yet, but sh-- that was really far away was coming up damn fast so I backed off. Would have been a good story to say I hit the limiter in a c6 though.
